When Your Dream Career Isn’t Enough: Why I Left LA to Build The Kickback

Written By Keri Henderson

In this bonus episode, I dive deep into a conversation about career transitions, finding your purpose, and having the courage to walk away from what you thought was your dream. If you're at a pivotal moment in your career; wondering where to go next or how to move in purpose, this episode is for you. I open up about:

  • How I got started in fashion styling and why she chased that dream all the way to LA

  • What it really felt like to walk away from a 10-year pursuit when passion faded

  • The importance of community, and why it ultimately shaped her next chapter

  • How The Kickback came to be and where she sees it going in the future

This is a story about pivots, letting go, and choosing purpose over titles. If you’ve ever felt like you were at a crossroads in your career or questioning what’s next, this episode will remind you that it’s okay to evolve and start fresh.
